The world is full of caring people who want to help, and there are certainly many people who need that help. Sometimes the challenge is getting those two groups together.

The CarePortal is designed to connect compassionate people to help meet the needs of kids and families in crisis. It works with the local church and others to let them know about the vetted, urgent needs of individual families in their community.

Adam Kemper is pastor of Northwest Community Friends Church, but he also serves as the southern Arizona Regional Manager for CarePortal. The organization believes that children belong in the care of healthy, loving families, and that families should be supported by their local church and caring members of their community. This philosophy – established by their parent organization, The Global Orphan Project, puts the child at the center of everything they do.

Part of that is an app that allows professionals serving children to type specific needs of families they work with into a database. Alerts are instantly emailed/texted to responders in the area who determine if they can commit to providing the tangible items, relational support, or child placement assistance that is needed.

Adam shares how more than half of the requests entered into CarePortal receive a response in less than 48 hours. It may be something you or your church may want to be a part of.

The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/
